Goodbye Love - Southside Johnny, The Asbury Jukes

I better go

When it happens everyday, you know

You can’t try and live on a diet

Of pain and harsh words

Love’s not a trial

Ending in a walk down the aisle

You can’t ever twist the hands,

I don’t care what you’ve heard

You made it seem so simple

You made it easy to live

But how could I know that purring in my bed

Was a kitten with a whip

Goodbye love, it’s way past the moment

Goodbye love, stop trying

Goodbye love, can’t drive it to the dead end

Fate will never unbend, goodbye love

Now I understand

When the money runs through my hands

I’ll find myself all alone at the zero hour

Making love was so easy

Wearing diamonds and gold

How could I know that perched in my bed

Was a kitten with a whip

Goodbye love, it’s way past the moment

Goodbye love, stop trying

Goodbye love, can’t drive it to the dead end

Fate will never unbend, goodbye love

And when I turn off the lights

That’s when it hits the hardest

My resolution starts slipping away

And my conviction just falls from the hip

Goodbye love
